11 Off-Air WWE Moments You Weren't Supposed To See
4. The Undertaker Rehearses Killing Paul Bearer
When The Undertaker went back to a modified version of the "Deadman" gimmick at WrestleMania 20, he brought Paul Bearer back with him as his manager. As cool a moment as Bearer's return was, the run was always going to have a short shelf life, and it came to an end at the Great American Bash that year. In the pseudo-main event (as in it went on last due to the gimmickry involved, but Eddy Guerrero vs. JBL was the real main event), The Undertaker took on The Dudleys in a handicap match.
If The Undertaker didn't lie down and lose on purpose, Paul Heyman was going to BURY PAUL BEARER IN CEMENT. Yes, really. For some reason, The Undertaker decided to fight and won the match, but then voluntarily pulled the lever on the cement mixer and murdered Bearer himself. Why? It wasn't that clear other than that he had "no other choice." But Bearer died right there on PPV. Until we found out on TV that he didn't because WWE doesn't do murder.
This video was shot earlier that day and was used to pre-record the close-ups of Bearer since a stunt double was in the tank during the match and angle. The leak actually took place before the pay-per-view, spoiling the finish hours early. Nobody cared, they just thought it was stupid. Well, and that it was hilarious how bored the Undertaker looks throughout the video.
